In the event the one ambu-
lance in Lindale is called out, Self
says Medical Center EMS dis-
patches another ambulance that
comes toward Lindale so one will
be in the area if needed. This is
done to meet performance stan-
dards, Self said.

“Currently, we have nine am-
bulances in our fleet,” he said.
Although the 9-1 -1 system is a
quick routing method to get to the
appropriate person, Martin said it
is not always the quickest or clos-
est provider that responds.
“If there is another ambulance
closer than we are, we’ll call that
service if they can get there
ered, but this option would limit
public access.
“The park is there for people to
enjoy,” he said.
While McClenny promised the
equipment and playground area
will be checked regularly, he ac-
knowledged that parents need to
properly supervise their children
in the area.
“Just because the equipment is
safe, doesn’tmean accidents won’t
happen,” he said. “You wouldn’t
expect a 2- or 3-year-old to drive a
pickup. Parents just seem to have
plenty of confidence that their chil-
dren won’t be hurt.”
He said after the city was made
aware of the problems, he went to
the playground the next evening
and watched children play as their
parents watched a ball game.
“There were about 15 kids out
there, ranging in age from toddlers
to 15 years, and only one lady who
was about 21 years old was out
there,” McClenny said. The
woman was supervising a toddler,

he said.
“I’m surprised there aren’t
more injuries,” he said. “The num-
ber one problem is lack of supervi-
sion.”
McClenny said because Pool
Park is a city park, the city is
responsible for maintenance of the
facilities.
“But, until a problem is
brought to the city’s attention, we
don’tknow it exists,” he said. “This
problem was reported that night
(June 9) and it (the equipment)
was inspected and corrected the
next day.”
He said the city will begin
immediately to document com-
plaints, inspections and corrections
made at the park.
“We should have been doing
that all along,” he said.

Joanna Oliver, public educa-
tion coordinator for 9-1-1, says
the system is almost four years
old in Smith County and has
worked well for the public.
Oliver emphasized that for the
system to work the way it is de-
signed to work, people should
make sure they have a name and
address clearly visible in both di-
rections from the street. Their
neighbors should do the same.
The more information available,
the faster emergency personnel
can locate the caller.

When calling 9-1-1, Oliver
says callers should be patient and
stay on the line so that the dis-

tion.
Oliver encouraged people to
use 9-1-1 when they need to, but
not to abuse the system.

High Profiles: Zonell Rice
Leaders Who Have Made A Difference
Editor's Note: The "Present"
High Proflie is meant to bring to
the attention of Lindalites praise
worth bestowing on one of its own
who contributes time and energy
to make a difference in our lives in
Lindale.
By ANITA SHEPPARD
Lindale High School was
graced for 36 years with the pres-
ence and dedication of business
teacher Zonell Rice, a diminuitive
task master who taught typing,
accounting, and shorthand begin-
ning in September, 1946.
Lake Creek, Texas, Delta
County, was the birthplace of the
only daughter of Sam and Bertie
Russell whose family included
sons John and Leland.
After graduation from East
Delta High School, Zonell headed
off to Paris Junior College With
those two years at PJC behind her,
Zonell taught for three years at
East Delta. She finished up her
college education at East Texas
State in Commerce where she
obtained her B.S. and master’s
degrees, both in business.
Zonell and lb B. Rice, a native
of Lindale, married in December
of 1956. Ib worked for Texas A &
M University for the feed and fer-
tilizer control service.
Seldom does a day go by that
Zonell does not see one of her
former students—Jerry Fleming
and his wife Kathleen, Willene
and Clifford Bartley, Sue
Summerville, Joe Don Terry, Sally
Munn Black, Jimmie Brewster,
Betty Hitt, Wanda and Elton
Caldwell (now of Brownsboro),
Eugene McClenny,, Bobby
McClenny, Betty and Jack Gil-
bert and their sons, Bud and Beth
Praytor, Kenneth Pruitt, Gary
Jackson, Julia and John Jarman,
Buddy Johnson, Janet and C.
James Rutledge, Perry Mac
Hutchens, Penny and Keith Jor-
dan, and on and on according to
her with the class rosters of many
years in her mind.
“I really enjoyed teaching here
in Lindale all those years. There
just came a time for me to retire,
and I did so in May, 1982,” said
Zonell.
As truly unfair as life is some-
times, time was cut short for Ib
and Zonell with lb’s untimely
death four months after Zonell’s
LHS class of ’82 plans reunion June 27
The Lindale High School class
of 1982 will meet for its 10-year
reunion June 27.
Reunion events begin with a
family picnic from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. at Pool Park. Participants are
asked to bring lawn chairs, sack
lunches and soft drinks. Alcoholic
beverages are not permitted.
Entertainment will be provided
for the children, including a moon-
(AMBULANCE.. From Page 1)
Self said once Medical Center
EMS receives the call, an ambu-
lance is dispatched even when
they refer the call to the other
provider.
“We have a duty to respond,”
said Self.
With 47 ambulances, East
Texas Medical Center’s ambu-
lance fleet is the largest in the
state, he said.
“We don’t want Mother
Frances’ calls,” said Self. “We’re
very busy taking care of our calls.
We don’t listen to the scanner and
we don’t respond to calls unless
we are called.”
A Mother Frances ambulance
sometimes shows up on calls des-
ignated for Medical Center's
EMS, said Self.
He said Medical Center's EMS
responds on an average of two
times a month to HAWL either
because Mother Frances is not
available or they receive a direct
call from a HAWL resident.
Referring to Mother Frances,
Self said, “We try to work to-
gether whenever we can.”

park.
“The community ought to be
proud of the park,” he said. “But,
you can’t legislate pride. It doesn’t
matter how well it’s built, there is
somebody out there who cantearit
up.”
He said city leaders have con-
sidered increasing surveillance in
the area to catch vandals, but that
would be costly. Lindale police
officers regularly patrol the area,
: “but with only one or two patrol-
■ men on the streets during any given
eight-hour period, time spent at
I the park is limited.” Additional
: manpower would be expensive,
; he said.
McClenny said fencing the
